I believe the letter of Paul to the churches at Rome was written in the year 58AD, making it the sixth of his fourteen epistles. The chart below provides a bird’s-eye view of the chronological order for the books of the New Testament. John Gill, “Commentary On The New Testament Scriptures”: “Though this epistle is in order placed the first of the epistles, yet it was not first written: there were several epistles written before it, as the two epistles to the Thessalonians, the two to the Corinthians, the first epistle to Timothy, and that to Titus: the reason why this epistle stands first, is either the excellency of it, of which Chrysostom had so great an esteem that he caused it to be read…

I believe the letter of Paul to the churches at Ephesus was written in the year 62AD, making it the seventh of his fourteen epistles. The chart below provides a bird’s-eye view of the chronological order for the books of the New Testament.

The chart below provides a bird’s-eye view of the chronological order for the books of the New Testament.

I believe the letter of Paul to Philemon was written in the year 62AD, making it the ninth of his fourteen epistles. The chart below provides a bird’s-eye view of the chronological order for the books of the New Testament. John Gill, “Commentary On The New Testament Scriptures”: “This epistle was written by the Apostle Paul, when a prisoner at Rome, as appears from its inscription and subscription; and seems to have been written at the same time, in the year 60, and sent by the same hand, as the epistle to the Colossians; seeing the same persons were with the apostle at the writing of both, and send their Christian salutations in the one, as in the other; compare (Philemon 1:23,24) with (Colossians 4:10,12,14)…

I believe the letter of Paul to the churches at Philippi was written in the year 63AD, making it the tenth of his fourteen epistles. The chart below provides a bird’s-eye view of the chronological order for the books of the New Testament. John Gill, “Commentary On The New Testament Scriptures”: “Philippi was a Roman colony, and the chief city of one part of Macedonia, (Acts 16:12), it is by Appianus called Datos which was its original name; and by Diodorus Siculus it is called Crenidae, from, the fountains about it; and it took its name Philippi, from Philip king of Macedon, father of Alexander the great, who rebuilt and fortified it; near this place a famous battle was fought, and a victory obtained by…
